I like the Herdez Salsa Verde for premade, its not very hot, but has a nice taste. Its readily available and generally pretty inexpensive.
I would just chop up a fresh habaneo, or add something like the Mexico Lindo habanero Hot sauce to amp it up a bit. https://pepperscale.com/mexico-lindo-red-habanero-hot-sauce/

Of course you could use Serranos instead of Habaneros. I love Serranos too!

I'd probably skip the fresh habanero, IIRC you're a much bigger pepperhead than I am.

Perhaps, but im not crazy like I used to be. I wont eat plain habaneros, but i will sure as heck cook with them.

About to run to Ralphs to buy some tortilla chips and the ingredients to make this.

It's Rick Bayless's Creamy Jalapeno Salsa. Jalapenos are pretty mild to me, but you could kick it up with a Hanebaro or something else hotter. Although the flavor is FANTASIC as is. The olive oil really makes it stand out, it gives it such a wonderful creamy texture and adds a nice depth of flavor I'm not used to with salsas. When I make this I always make a double batch. And every time I make it, since I like spicier but don't want to change the flavor profile with other chilis, I add twice as many Jalapenos. I've made 2 of his other salsas and that man's a wizard when it comes to Mexican.

INGREDIENTS​

• 1 cup olive or vegetable oil (or a combination of the two)
• 3 large, fresh jalapeño chiles, stemmed and cut in half lengthwise
• 6 garlic cloves, peeled
• A small handful of cilantro
• Salt
• The juice of half of a large lime

INSTRUCTIONS​

Set a large (10-inch) skillet over medium high heat. When hot, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, then lay in the chiles and whole garlic. Cook, turning everything regularly until richly browned, 5 or 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool completely (if the chiles and garlic aren’t cool, the sauce will break). Scrape the chiles, garlic and oil into a blender jar. Add the cilantro, then cover and turn on the blender to medium speed. While the blender is running, remove the cap in the middle of the lid and slowly pour in the olive oil. Blend until the salsa is very smooth. Taste and season with salt, usually a generous ½ teaspoon, and lime juice. Reblend to incorporate the salt and lime and you’re ready to serve.

I tried Taco Bell's "caliente" chicken menu:

https://www.tacobell.com/newsroom/taco-bell-cranks-up-the-heat-with-new-caliente-cantina-chicken-menu

There is a delayed kick to it (actually, it's probably the spiciest thing Taco Bell has ever released, which isn't saying much lol), and while the flavor was not bad, it wasn't good, either. The sauce color is...unnaturally vibrant lol. I had separately tried their Catina Chicken menu previously & didn't care for it.

A new to me hot sauce. I think it's also pretty new to the market. Herdez habanero. Tastes great, and is quite cheap. I paid $2 for a 12oz bottle at Grocery Outlet, but they're discount store. Only disappointing thing is the lengthy ingredients list. It's got stuff that isn't essential to hot sauce, but it does taste good. Get some if you see it...

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm a sucker for a good hot sauce so I picked some up from Walmart to try it out. It has really good flavor with just the right amount of heat.

I put some on my pizza tonight.

Pizza's a great use for it!

How's it compare to El Yucateco green? That's my go to store bought hot sauce and especially when I want habanero, though I like making xnipec salsa out of fresh habaneros too.

El Yucateco's better. It's drier and hotter. The Herdez is along the same line though, as opposed to something like Valentina. I'd use the Herdez for bulk application, where you might want to be restrained with El Yucateco(though I do load that up on everything. I've used over half a brand new bottle at the Mexican place just on tortillas :^D ). Pizza, cheese/crackers, canned chili, Chinese food... would be good for the Herdez.

Yeah I'm not very restrained with my El Yucateco application either lol. Love getting a Costco chicken, shredding the fuck out of it, fry it in just a little bit of oil, add onion and cilantro and douse it all in El Yucateco after throwing it in a tortilla.

Have you had the Black Label El Yucateco? WOO it's good, a step up heat wise and a has a very unique smoky flavor.

Haven't tried the Black Label. Is it hotter than the El Yucateco Kutbil-Ik? That one is a decent step up on heat from the El Yucateco green, though most of the time I think I prefer the flavor of the green.

 

[SteveGrabowski]

If you're ever on a road trip through Texas or the south Bucees ghost pepper beef jerky is pretty tasty. Not overly hot or anything but a nice little bit of heat.

The XXXtra Hot is a decent chunk hotter, that's the one you're talking about I think. The black's slightly hotter than the Green, and it's legit a dark black color. They char Habeneros so it has a really unique flavor. People tend to either love it, or can't stand it. Green's awesome, I used to inhale it. Actually all the El Yucateco's I've tried have been pretty damn good.

I think I need to hit the Mexican market tomorrow and pick up some bottles thanks for reminding me.

The black is great. Very unique. My problem is I have a hard time finding a place for it. IMO, it's ideally suited to beef, and I don't eat much meat. I have a bottle, but it goes slower than the green or brown.

Just an FYI, "unique" is an absolute adjective.

Its definitely hot, damn spicy. More topping = more heat.

I much prefer the Fresh Cravings Jalapeno Honey hummus but if you love heat, this Sabra will be enjoyable for you.

These are amazing...

Amazon.com

I got a bunch from Grocery Outlet, and I think I ate my last one today. I just looked on amazon cause I want more. I'll hold off a little while to see if they showup cheap again, but I'll buy more even if they cost twice as much. Dump it over a serving of rice, and it's a fairly cheap easy dinner. It's also legit hot. Probably too hot for a lot of people, but it's "nicely hot" for me.

edit:
Here's a non amazon link, cause non amazon links are probably better...

Got these sauces today from GroceryOutlet...



I think they were $2/bottle. Not super amazeballs good, but good honest sauce at a good price. Very chunky. I prefer the rojo. It's a little hotter and a little fruitier. I'll be buying a bunch more bottles when I go back next week.
